2014 Citroen C1 RHD refuelling

9
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance
(roof bars, roof rack...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3
000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Fuel tank
Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached,
this warning lamp comes on and the
last bar flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal.
You have approximately 5 litres remaining.
In certain driving conditions and depending on the
engine, the distance which can be travelled with the
fuel remaining may be less than 30 miles (50 km).
When the frequency of the flashing increases, you
have approximately 3 litres remaining .
To refuel in complete safety:
F
Y ou must stop the engine and switch off
the ignition (ignition in "LOCK" position
or "OFF" mode) .
F

P
ull the control on the lower dashboard,
driver's side, to release the filler flap.
F

O
pen the fuel filler flap.
If you run out of fuel, the emission
control system warning lamp may come
on in the instrument panel. It will go off
automatically after the engine has been
started a few times. Refuelling must only be done with the engine
stopped and the ignition switched off
( ignition
switch in the " LOCK" position or " OFF" mode).
The capacity of the fuel tank is approximately 35 litres.
Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to
be registered by the fuel gauge.
A label on the inside of the flap reminds you
which type of fuel to use.
There may be an inrush of air when removing
the filler cap. This vacuum is per fectly normal
and results from the sealing of the fuel system.
